The American Scholar

At the time of his writing, The American Scholar,” women were not allowed to achieve a higher education and scholarships were only awarded to men. This speech was originally a pamphlet but was converted into an essay later that year, publishing it in his book titled, Essays. As he discusses the American Scholar, he uses the term as a whole, like an entire entity, not a multifaceted group.

Due to an on going of racial issues throughout the history of African Americans scholars continue to push forward the thought that racism still seems

After reading Ralph Waldo Emerson’s “The American Scholar,” I can see many similarities between his ideas and the themes of Henry David Thoreau’s writings. Thoreau embodies Emerson’s idea of the American Scholar in several ways. In “Resistance to Civil Government,” Thoreau states, “The government itself, which is only the mode which the people have chosen to execute their will, is equally liable to be abused and perverted before the people can act through it” (Norton Anthology 843). He goes on to

In contemporary times, the Latin American intellectual field holds a rich tradition of communication research and cultural studies, with remarkable thinkers, original work, and overcoming several obstacles. Indeed, since at least the mid-20th Century, some scholars (such as Luis Ramiro Beltrán and Eliseo Verón) criticized the lack of empirical work in the field as well as its heavy dependence on foreign interpretive frames and methodological tool-kits. Part of this critique included that researchers

many aspects of Native American culture. After reading chapters 1 – 3, I noticed the material connected through the theme of identity. Identity is a recurring theme throughout the first three chapters. Identity in Native American culture is complex, in that there are many components to Native American culture and identity. The first component is that “In the eyes of the Indian community it is not sufficient to wish oneself Indian” (pg. 10). To be identified as Native American, one must have a specified

students/scholars are facing many challenges when they arrive in the United States. Several major barriers that they face include: 1) Language barriers: Most newly arrived international students/scholars have difficulty in communicating effectively with native English speakers (McClure, 2007; Araujo, 2011; Andrade, 2006).

and Classic American Literature”, there was no universal agreement among American Studies scholars on the theoretical approach that should be viewed as principal (Giles 62–63). At that time, along with well-established traditions, the idea of transnationality of American culture in general and American literature in particular came into consideration (Giles 62). In his article, Paul Giles appears as a supporter of the transnationalism. Giles claims that both American culture and American literature

One of his best-known essays is "Self-Reliance.” He was born on May 25, 1803, in Boston, Massachusetts. In 1821, he took over as director of his brother’s school for girls.

similar goals and values throughout their respective essays. Enstad is a highly renowned and very professional writer. She addresses her audience of American Studies scholars to inform them about toxins in the human body and all the dangers that go along with the toxins. Enstad references studies and information provided by American Studies scholars like Bill Brown, Lizabeth Cohen, and Linda Nash to prove to her readers toxins are real and very dangerous. She uses this factual rich style of writing
